- the “passive” means that the ODN does not include any active electronic component or electronic power supply, and includes only a passive component such as an optical splitter.
- transmission from an OLT to an ONU is a downstream direction

- GPON gigabit-Capable PON
- EPON Error Network Passive Optical Network
- For the current GPON or EPON network when single-channel transmission exceeds 10 Gb/s, bandwidth efficiency of the GPON or EPON network is relatively low if non-return to zero (NRZ) code is still used. Further, in optical communications, when an NRZ encoding rate exceeds 10 Gb/s, dispersion of NRZ encoding becomes extremely serious. Therefore, after the single-channel transmission is higher than 10 Gb/s, a multi-order or higher-order modulation scheme is mostly used.

- FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are a flowchart of a method for switching a modulation format of a PON system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps.
- Step 301 An OLT delivers all supported modulation formats, and notifies an ONU. It should be noted that the ONU learns, before being registered, all the upstream modulation formats and/or downstream modulation format supported by the OLT.
- Step 302 The OLT separately delivers a registration window in a polling manner in all the supported upstream modulation formats and/or downstream modulation formats, that is, separately delivers a registration message to the ONU through broadcasting.
- Step 303 The ONU determines whether the registration window satisfies a current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU. If the registration window satisfies the current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU, the ONU is registered and put online in the currently supported upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format, and reports a first message, where the first message includes an upstream modulation format capability and/or a downstream modulation format capability. If the registration window does not satisfy the current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU, registration is suspended.
- Step 304 The OLT receives the first message reported by the ONU.
- Step 305 The OLT determines a target upstream modulation format and/or a target downstream modulation format of the ONU according to the first message, and instructs the ONU to switch to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 306 The ONU receives a notification message delivered by the OLT, where the notification message includes the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 307 The ONU switches an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 308 The ONU reports a second message to the OLT, where the second message includes an indication message that the ONU has switched to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- the ONU determines whether an acknowledgement grant message delivered by the optical line terminal is received within a second preset time, and if the acknowledgement grant message delivered by the optical line terminal is not received within the second preset time, switches back to a source upstream modulation format and/or a source downstream modulation format.
- Step 309 The OLT receives the second message reported by the optical network unit, where the second message includes an indication that the ONU has switched to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 310 The OLT switches to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, delivers an acknowledgement grant message in the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, and performs synchronization acknowledgement with the optical network unit.
- the OLT delivers the acknowledgement grant message, and enables a timeout mechanism.
- the OLT determines whether the optical network unit receives the acknowledgement grant message within a first preset time, and if no, a value of a counter is increased by 1. Then, the OLT determines whether the value of the counter is greater than a threshold, and if the value of the counter is greater than the threshold, ends switching of an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format.
- Step 311 The ONU receives the acknowledgement grant message delivered by the OLT, and performs synchronization acknowledgement with the OLT.
- Step 312 The ONU reports a third message to the OLT, where the third message includes receiving bit error information.
- Step 313 The OLT determines, according to the third message, that the ONU has switched the upstream modulation format and/or the downstream modulation format, or enters step 314 .
- Step 314 Instruct the ONU to switch back to a source upstream modulation format and/or a source downstream modulation format.
- a modulation format reporting capability of the ONU is improved, the ONU is registered and put online, and a modulation scheme is switched after the ONU is registered and put online.
- a protocol message needs to be extended to switch the downstream modulation format and/or the upstream modulation format.
- an MPCP Multi-Point Control Protocol
- a GATE message is extended, and a downstream modulation format and/or an upstream modulation format supported by this window are/is newly added; (2) a REGISTER_REQ message is extended, and downstream and/or upstream modulation format capability information of the ONU are/is newly added.
- an MPCP message is extended to switch a modulation format, and a message such as MODULATION_REQ MPCPDU or MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU is newly added.
- the MODULAITON_REQ MPCPDU includes information such as an LLID (Logical Link Identifier) and a target downstream modulation (target downstream modulation) format.
- the MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU includes information such as an echo of LLID, an echo of target downstream modulation, an echo of Sync (echo of synchronization), and an ONU receiving bit error.
- the extension of an MPCP message may be replaced by extension of an OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) message or a PLOAM (Physical Layer Operation, Administration and Maintenance) message.
- OAM Operation Administration and Maintenance
- PLOAM Physical Layer Operation, Administration and Maintenance
- downstream and/or upstream modulation format information are/is reported through information OAMPDU information extension of the ONU, and a modulation format is switched by newly adding MODULATION_REQ OAMPDU and MODULATION_ACK OAMPDU.
- a procedure of switching a modulation format by an OAMPDU is the same as a procedure of switching a modulation format by using the MPCP.
- a third manner is that discovery information fields of REGISTER_REQ MPCPDU are extended, where extension is performed in bits 6 to 15 of the discovery information fields, and “ONU upstream is PAM4 capable”, “ONU upstream is PAM8 capable”, or the like is added to implement a modulation format registration procedure.
- REGISTER_REQ MPCPDU is extended, modulation information fields are newly added, and a bit such as “ONU upstream is PAM4 capable (ONU upstream is PAM4 capable)” or “ONU upstream is PAM8 capable (ONU upstream is PAM8 capable)” is newly added in the modulation information fields.
- OPCODE types are newly added: MODULATION_REQ and MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU.
- the MODULATION_REQ MPCPDU includes information such as an LLID and target upstream modulation.
- the MODULATION ACK MPCPDU includes information such as an echo of LLID and an echo of target upstream modulation.
- An extended MPCP message may be replaced by an extended OAM or PLOAM message.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2016/073682, filed on Feb. 5, 2016, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to the communications field, and in particular, to a method for switching a modulation format of a passive optical network, an apparatus, and a system.
- Large-scale deployment of fiber to the home (FTTH) is accompanied with an increase in bandwidth requirements of optical access. Currently, a PON (Passive Optical Network) technology is mainly used for optical access. The passive optical network (PON) technology is a point-to-multipoint fiber transmission and access technology. A broadcast manner is used downstream, and a time division multiple access (TDMA) manner is used upstream. A topology structure such as a tree type, a star type, or a bus type may be flexibly formed. No node device is required at an optical branch point, and only one simple optical splitter needs to be installed.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a tree topology structure commonly used in an existing PON, including an optical line terminal (OLT) 101 on an office side, an optical network unit (ONU) or an optical network terminal (ONT) 103 on a user side, and an optical distribution network (ODN) 102. The “passive” means that the ODN does not include any active electronic component or electronic power supply, and includes only a passive component such as an optical splitter. In a PON system, transmission from an OLT to an ONU is a downstream direction, and transmission from an ONU to an OLT is an upstream direction. - At a current stage, there are various PON technologies, such as a GPON (Gigabit-Capable PON) and an EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network). For the current GPON or EPON network, when single-channel transmission exceeds 10 Gb/s, bandwidth efficiency of the GPON or EPON network is relatively low if non-return to zero (NRZ) code is still used. Further, in optical communications, when an NRZ encoding rate exceeds 10 Gb/s, dispersion of NRZ encoding becomes extremely serious. Therefore, after the single-channel transmission is higher than 10 Gb/s, a multi-order or higher-order modulation scheme is mostly used. Most common modulation schemes are PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation, pulse amplitude modulation) 4, duobinary modulation, quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, and the like. When a system supports a plurality of modulation schemes, currently there is still no effective solution to how to register an ONU/ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and put the ONU/ONT online and switch a modulation scheme after registering the ONU/ONT and putting the ONU/ONT online.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for switching a modulation format of a passive optical network, an apparatus, and a system, so that when the passive optical network supports a plurality of modulation schemes, an optical network unit is registered and put online, and a modulation format is switched.

The method is performed by an optical line terminal on an office end side of a PON system, and the optical line terminal implements interaction with an optical network unit. For example, the optical line terminal separately delivers a registration message to the optical network unit in all supported upstream modulation formats and/or downstream modulation formats. Then, the optical line terminal receives a first message reported by the optical network unit, where the first message includes an upstream modulation format capability and/or a downstream modulation format capability. Then, the optical line terminal determines a target upstream modulation format and/or a target downstream modulation format of the optical network unit according to the first message, and instructs the optical network unit to switch to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- In a possible design, the optical line terminal receives a second message reported by the optical network unit, where the second message includes an indication that the optical network unit has switched to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format; and the optical line terminal further switches to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, delivers an acknowledgement grant message in the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, and performs synchronization acknowledgement with the optical network unit.
- In a possible design, the optical line terminal receives a third message reported by the optical network unit, where the third message includes receiving bit error information; and the optical line terminal further determines, according to the third message, that the optical network unit has switched an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format.

- According to another aspect, a method for switching a modulation format of a passive optical network is provided. Specifically, an optical network unit reports a first message to an optical line terminal, where the first message includes an upstream modulation format capability and/or a downstream modulation format capability. Then, the optical network unit receives a notification message delivered by the optical line terminal, where the notification message includes a target upstream modulation format and/or a target downstream modulation format. Then, the optical network unit switches an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.

- As shown in
FIG. 2 ,FIG. 2 shows a PON system in which a plurality of modulation schemes coexist. AnONU 1 uses a duobinary modulation scheme, and a maximum transmission rate may reach 20G. An ONU 2 uses a PAM8 modulation scheme, and a maximum transmission rate may reach 30G. An ONU 3 uses a PAM4 modulation scheme, and a maximum transmission rate may reach 20G. An ONU 4 uses a PAM2 modulation scheme, and a maximum transmission rate may reach 10 G. The foregoing modulation schemes may coexist, for example, NRZ and PAM4 coexist, or duobinary and PAM4 coexist, or even more than two modulation schemes coexist. - As shown in
FIG. 3A andFIG. 3B ,FIG. 3A andFIG. 3B are a flowchart of a method for switching a modulation format of a PON system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps. - Step 301: An OLT delivers all supported modulation formats, and notifies an ONU. It should be noted that the ONU learns, before being registered, all the upstream modulation formats and/or downstream modulation format supported by the OLT.
- Step 302: The OLT separately delivers a registration window in a polling manner in all the supported upstream modulation formats and/or downstream modulation formats, that is, separately delivers a registration message to the ONU through broadcasting.
- Step 303: The ONU determines whether the registration window satisfies a current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU. If the registration window satisfies the current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU, the ONU is registered and put online in the currently supported upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format, and reports a first message, where the first message includes an upstream modulation format capability and/or a downstream modulation format capability. If the registration window does not satisfy the current upstream modulation format and/or downstream modulation format of the ONU, registration is suspended.
- Step 304: The OLT receives the first message reported by the ONU.
- Step 305: The OLT determines a target upstream modulation format and/or a target downstream modulation format of the ONU according to the first message, and instructs the ONU to switch to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 306: The ONU receives a notification message delivered by the OLT, where the notification message includes the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 307: The ONU switches an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 308: The ONU reports a second message to the OLT, where the second message includes an indication message that the ONU has switched to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- In another implementation of this step, after reporting the second message to the OLT, the ONU determines whether an acknowledgement grant message delivered by the optical line terminal is received within a second preset time, and if the acknowledgement grant message delivered by the optical line terminal is not received within the second preset time, switches back to a source upstream modulation format and/or a source downstream modulation format.
- Step 309: The OLT receives the second message reported by the optical network unit, where the second message includes an indication that the ONU has switched to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format.
- Step 310: The OLT switches to the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, delivers an acknowledgement grant message in the target upstream modulation format and/or the target downstream modulation format, and performs synchronization acknowledgement with the optical network unit.
- In this step, in another embodiment, the OLT delivers the acknowledgement grant message, and enables a timeout mechanism. The OLT determines whether the optical network unit receives the acknowledgement grant message within a first preset time, and if no, a value of a counter is increased by 1. Then, the OLT determines whether the value of the counter is greater than a threshold, and if the value of the counter is greater than the threshold, ends switching of an upstream modulation format and/or a downstream modulation format.
- Step 311: The ONU receives the acknowledgement grant message delivered by the OLT, and performs synchronization acknowledgement with the OLT.
- Step 312: The ONU reports a third message to the OLT, where the third message includes receiving bit error information.
- Step 313: The OLT determines, according to the third message, that the ONU has switched the upstream modulation format and/or the downstream modulation format, or enters
step 314. - Step 314: Instruct the ONU to switch back to a source upstream modulation format and/or a source downstream modulation format.
- In this embodiment of the present invention, in a PON system that supports a plurality of modulation formats, a modulation format reporting capability of the ONU is improved, the ONU is registered and put online, and a modulation scheme is switched after the ONU is registered and put online.
- It should be noted that a protocol message needs to be extended to switch the downstream modulation format and/or the upstream modulation format.
- In one manner, as shown in
FIG. 4 , during registration of the ONU, an MPCP (Multi-Point Control Protocol) message is extended to switch a modulation format. For example, (1) a GATE message is extended, and a downstream modulation format and/or an upstream modulation format supported by this window are/is newly added; (2) a REGISTER_REQ message is extended, and downstream and/or upstream modulation format capability information of the ONU are/is newly added. - In another manner, as shown in
FIG. 5A andFIG. 5B , an MPCP message is extended to switch a modulation format, and a message such as MODULATION_REQ MPCPDU or MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU is newly added. The MODULAITON_REQ MPCPDU includes information such as an LLID (Logical Link Identifier) and a target downstream modulation (target downstream modulation) format. The MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU includes information such as an echo of LLID, an echo of target downstream modulation, an echo of Sync (echo of synchronization), and an ONU receiving bit error. - Alternatively, the extension of an MPCP message may be replaced by extension of an OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) message or a PLOAM (Physical Layer Operation, Administration and Maintenance) message. For example, downstream and/or upstream modulation format information are/is reported through information OAMPDU information extension of the ONU, and a modulation format is switched by newly adding MODULATION_REQ OAMPDU and MODULATION_ACK OAMPDU. A procedure of switching a modulation format by an OAMPDU is the same as a procedure of switching a modulation format by using the MPCP.
- As shown in
FIG. 6 , a third manner is that discovery information fields of REGISTER_REQ MPCPDU are extended, where extension is performed in bits 6 to 15 of the discovery information fields, and “ONU upstream is PAM4 capable”, “ONU upstream is PAM8 capable”, or the like is added to implement a modulation format registration procedure. Alternatively, REGISTER_REQ MPCPDU is extended, modulation information fields are newly added, and a bit such as “ONU upstream is PAM4 capable (ONU upstream is PAM4 capable)” or “ONU upstream is PAM8 capable (ONU upstream is PAM8 capable)” is newly added in the modulation information fields. OPCODE types are newly added: MODULATION_REQ and MODULATION_ACK MPCPDU. The MODULATION_REQ MPCPDU includes information such as an LLID and target upstream modulation. The MODULATION ACK MPCPDU includes information such as an echo of LLID and an echo of target upstream modulation. An extended MPCP message may be replaced by an extended OAM or PLOAM message. - As shown in
